Admissions Process for International Students
The first step in the admissions process is to complete an online application. Then send copies of the student's grades to Ms. Meghan Callen [email protected].
For 9th Grade send 7th & 8th grade results
For 10th Grade send 9th grade results
For 11th Grade send 9th & 10th Grade results
For 12th Grade send 9th, 10th & 11th Grade results.
If the grades indicate that the student would be likely to be successful studying at the High School level in a different language to their mother tongue (generally A's and perhaps one or two B's), we would offer to meet the student in a virtual or in person interview. The interview consists of conversation followed by a basic assessment of the student's listening, reading writing and speaking skills. If the student's performance in the interview indicates that they have the skills to work in an all-English classroom, the Vice-Principal for Academics has the final decision with respect to making an offer to the student.
The above process can usually be accomplished in 5-7 working days (depending on the student's availability for interview). The Archdiocese of Philadelphia (of which Lansdale Catholic High School is a part) states that students must come to the US with a CSIET approved agency (http://www.csiet.org/site_page.cfm?pk_association_webpage_menu=2512&pk_association_webpage=8445 ) or they must live with a blood relative (this relationship must be notarized).
